Today's update is a boring one, and I couldn't be happier about that.
It's been nine days since my second round of immunotherapy, and so far there have been no major side effects. I've had a bit of a rash and some mouth ulcers, but I've been given something for both and they're clearing up nicely.
Overall I'm feeling loads better. The steroid withdrawal has eased, and being off the Cinacalcet has made a huge difference to how I feel day to day.
The best news this week is my calcium. It came back at 3.02, down from 3.16, and that's without any medication. It's still above where it should be, but it's heading the right way, and I'll take that.
I'm now waiting on my next toxicity appointment for more bloods, and my next dose is due in early December. I know the early weeks can still throw up surprises, so I'm keeping my eyes open and my alert card in my pocket.
